Chainflower – The Broken & Lovely – EP Review Big riffs and distant-drums echo throughout the first tune on the two-song EP from L.A.’s rock-band Chainflower, “Lewd Blues.” With just as much in common with classic-rock as it has with modern-day relevance, “Lewd Blues” stands-out for its combination of blues & rock wrapped into an […]Read More

The Last Surrealist – Hypogean Blood Fractals For A Hypnagogic Sleep – Album Review Happy birthday to our man Chris Romans of The Last Surrealist, the singular musical-mind responsible for the music made in his project; I say happy birthday sincerely…but I make sure to say it twice as the odds are, this might be […]Read More
Rev. Peter Unger – “Christmas Cards” – Single Review Here’s the thing…I’m just going to toss this warning out there to the entire independent community towards the end of October, which seems entirely too early for me to be doing so, yet the situation has already reared its carolling-head towards me…so I shall continue; make […]Read More
School Friends – Coma – Album Review I’ve been waiting to get to this one for a while now! Something about the cover of the School Friends album and the laundry-list of players on the album gave me the suspicion that this was something I was going to potentially enjoy very, very much. No one […]Read More
Chemical Refugee – “Therapy Song” – Single Review Much like the band we reviewed earlier today when uncovering the music of Shobocon, Sydney Australia’s latest offering in the psychedelic/music combination, Chemical Refugee, are amping up the excitement and putting everything they have into their music right now. Releasing a song per month until their album […]Read More
Shobocon – Shobocon – Album Review If my eyes don’t completely deceive me…I think we’ve actually got our hands on a band from Duncan, B.C. Canada…I haven’t been able to find any hard evidence of that other than a familiar area-code to the phone number listed in their contact information – but if that is […]Read More
B.O.Y. – Be Only You – EP Review There is a discernable amount of distinct talent within the all-female, R&B-meets-Trip-hop group B.O.Y. on their smooth sounding EP, Be Only You. The chilled-out vibe in the pulse of the music contrasts with the empowering & seize-the-moment sentiment of much of the lyrical content, making for a […]Read More
A-B-E – A South Bronx Tale – Album Review When I got up this morning…sun was shining…things were great instantly – you gotta love that! It wasn’t until I jumped online this morning that it began to rain inside…I got to check into an email from a promoter who was a little upset regarding the […]Read More
The Vanilla Milkshakes – Tall People Have No Feelings – Album Review Ahhh…the softmore album. Predictable as all fuck, The Vanilla Milkshakes show the mature-side of themselves and pull the attitude from their music in a corporate effort to ass-kiss for real dolla-bills y’all. Okay…that’s not the least bit accurate…but they make a reference to […]Read More
